Indian River County wants to make sure students are prepared for remote learning since all schools in Florida have been close through April 15 due to coronavirus.
On Wednesday, school district officials started giving out laptops to students who don’t have access to them at home.
School officials want all students to have access to laptops so they can do online lessons.
The district has 10,000 laptops available, and the devices will be given out again on Thursday at six schools across Indian River County from 10am-2pm.
People are lining up at VBE to check out a laptop for their household. There is a wait- but we are all smiles, and everything is running smoothly! If you do not have a device at home, please visit one of our 6 distribution sites between 10-2 and check one out! pic.twitter.com/RuiaKQBW1P
